### Think about it: What is heavier, water or rock? If you crack rock
by injecting steam at immense pressure, with continued external
pressure applied, and then release the steam and gas, will you end up
with a sponge capable of absorbing water, or will the rock snap back
into compact layers? Will water under normal hydrostatic pressure
(i.e. the water table, not the injected superheated steam) be able to
re-open the pores in the rock?
